+- Interpretation of font height in pixels parameter has changed in wxFont

+  the total cell height. If you previously used negative height to explicitly

+  positive value (passing negative height still works but is undocumented and
+  deprecated). If you used positive height before you should retest your code
+  to check if the changes correspond to your expectations. And if you do need
+  the old behaviour please contact us at wx-dev to let us know about it!
